/diy/ - Do It Yourself

I have a plan to make a few commemorative coins at home.

>melt down aluminum cans or brass (depending on price) with a mini-forge
>pour them into mold made of fire bricks

What am I missing? I doubt it will be that simple. Also, are there any issues with my plan?

Sorry if this is obvious, I am new.

>And somehow living in it dehumidifies it?
Yes. Opening and closing doors/opening windows moves a shitload of CFM's through the house. Plus when you live in it you have climate control and clean shit so that mold doesn't form. Believe it or not, other things live in your house besides you.

Yes, especially in a cold climate zone where it gets below freezing. You can winterize it by putting antifreeze in the pipes and sealing absolutely everything except the attic vent. You still need to check on it every so often for damage from animals/climate.

I had a dumb Korean neighbor that tried to pull that shit. She never actually lived in it, would check on it every 3 months and pay some poor looking oriental sod with a push mower to mow it every 2 weeks. She was so fucking dumb that she never winterized the house and it flooded the floor....TWICE. She had them redone...twice. Also had to get new gutters/air conditioner and brickwork done from Ivy damage on the chimney side of the house. Sold for 250k, bought at 300. wager she lost like 40,000-50,000 in repairs alone. The best part is that she sold it to another oriental dude and he also bought the house on the other side of us. Was owned by an old lady who collected dozens of cats and never left her house, smelled horrid from the street. He spent a good $100,000 renovating it and the other one he bought from the lady next door (new roof, cat piss removal, entire inside redone) . He honestly thinks he's going to rent a house out for $3,000 in the worst state in new England (that would be CT if you didn't know). Haven't had an actual neighbor in 10 years and it's been fantastic.

How would I go about learning how to make a custom PC? I know it’s probably better to buy one pre-built, but I’m genuinely interested in learning.
